No promise of everything you desire in life, but if you make efforts towards it, the Universe isn't on a budget, it has enough to give, Demand more from life!!!
If you wanted a sign, this is one!.
A student of IMT Enugu from the Department of Mechatronics showcases his solar-powered Keke NAPEP during the just-concluded IMT Founder's Day celebration.
While Peter Obi stopped in Nise to encourage citizens registering for their PVCs, something unforgettable happened.
A blind man in the crowd began calling out, “Where is Peter Obi?” Peter Obi walked over, held his hand, and said, “I am Peter Obi.”
The man replied, “I heard you were here, so I came. I need help. The place where people with disabilities were cared for during your time as governor has been taken from us. We have been left on our own.”
Peter Obi listened attentively, supported him with a token for his immediate welfare, and assured him the matter would receive attention.
This is why many people speak about the impact of Peter Obi’s leadership with conviction. For them, it isn’t propaganda or political rhetoric, it’s lived experience and visible even to the blind.
Good leadership is remembered long after a tenure ends. It is felt in the lives it touches, especially by the most vulnerable.
It is safe to say that under a Peter Obi presidency, people with disabilities would not be forgotten, but included, protected, and treated with dignity.
#NigeriaWillBeOk
Let me tell you something about Uber (ride-hailing) in Nigeria. I’m speaking as someone who has experienced the system both as a passenger and a driver.
From a passenger’s perspective, you just don’t realize that what you are paying is not enough for the kind of service Uber has sold you. Uber sells you the idea of comfort, and in some cases, luxury, but what they forget to tell you is you can’t afford it. To be fair to you, the fares are biting your pockets, and you deserve value for money, but it’s deeper than how you see it.
From a driver’s perspective, you just desire to make the most profit out of the system, and rightly so, because you need to cover for the cost of maintenance, which really takes a lot, but you fail to understand that you are dealing with a very poor population and any attempt to increase the fares by Uber/bolt will simply make demand go downhill. Who will book you if the minimum fare is 5K? (Currently, it’s around 2k).
When Uber/Bolt first arrived the market, they were strict about the models and years of qualifying vehicles, but as the economy continued to tank, people who had quality cars had to pull their cars from the road as the business simply became unprofitable. You can’t continue to wear and tear your 10 million naira car for nothing. These platforms were losing drivers at a very fast rate, and decided to mitigate that by lowering entry barriers to the ground - to the point that it became an all comers affair. Even 1990s cars started getting accepted on the platforms.
So you have passengers complaining, “oh, the Ubers don’t have AC” “the cars are terrible” “the services are sh#t.” Drivers on the other hand, with each visit to Apo mechanic village, Zuba or Ladipo, continue to be discouraged from maintaining their cars, as it’s simply not sustainable. For instance, an AC component, known as the compressor, went from 20k to over 60k within a space of 2 years. Car servicing (changing of oil went from 5k (oil filter inclusive) to 25k for a 4 plug engine within the space of 3 years. In the same period the fares barely increased by 100%.
All the while passenger and drivers have been busy blaming each other, and failing to realize that the ECONOMY is the problem. The platforms themselves don’t really care, because as long you complete a ride, whether you make profit or not, or as a passenger you get the worst service possible, they still earn their commission.
This is why I keep shouting that building anything hoping to exploit loopholes and relaxed regulations for profit doesn’t qualify as building solutions. And I will continue to stand on this. Whenever you people are ready, we will talk about an ECONOMY that works for all, and not just for those at the top of the pyramid.
@GBUnitedx True, and we qualified for ucl too, alot of games for player rotation. So players should be more interested in us right now.
Ineos is bringing a structure, we got to support them
I am not a dirty person, so do not add me to this collective.
I have lived in Lagos and on the Island for the better part of my life.
The Island never used to flood when we were kids.
No matter how heavy the rain was, flooding started when Lekki developed and people built without proper town planning.
Whose fault is that? The government.
Now they have added the coastal road and it is worse.
Places that were natural swamps and reservoirs have all been sold and sand filled.
When are we, as a collective, going to demand that the government does its fucking job for once?
Here is a hidden mechanism through which the Nigerian government is quietly taxing Nigerians, while no one talks about Tinubu’s New Tax Regime anymore. They don't teach you this in school.
WATCH & SHARE to educate others.
